A/N - Thank you so much everyone for the reviews. I never imagine that this story would be so well liked.

Three days passed without any incidents. That was mainly do to the fact the Kaiba brothers began spending more time at the Kaiba Corporation headquarters located downtown Domino.

Yami was relieved to have gotten some peace and quiet but it also left him very bored. The half-cat human was reduced to spending his days stretched out on Seto's couch watching soap operas and anime on the large plasma TV.

That was what he was doing one afternoon when the intercom buzzed indicating there was someone at the front gate.

Searching around, Yami found the device mounted onto the wall. Remembering how Yugi used the intercom when they had arrived there five nights ago, Yami pressed a button and spoke clearly into it.

"Hello?" he said, getting ready to turn away whoever was at the gate.

"Meow."

Yami hesitated his reply. He certainly hadn't expected 'meow' as a response. He then heard the laughter coming over the intercom in the background.

"Come on Pharaoh, let us in!" Malik joyfully cried. "We know you're holed up in there."

"Unless your sister is with you, you can forget about it," Yami dryly replied, narrowing his eyes even though the two psychopaths couldn't see him.

"We have a message from her Josie so let us in!" Bakura demanded.

Josie? Yami wondered, very confused with what the Thief King was saying. "I don't know how to get the gate open," he lamely replied.

"No problem, I've got it."

Again Yami was very confused. Normally he could read Bakura well to stop him from causing too much trouble but the white haired individual was acting weird.

It wasn't until a few minutes later Yami figured it out when he heard the doorbell ring. Bakura had broken through Seto's 10 million yen security system.

With a frustrated sigh, Yami stood and walked towards the front door. Yanking it open he was met by the grinning face of Malik and smirk upon Bakura's lips. In Bakura's arms was Killer who was purring contently as the thief gently stroked her.

Narrowing his eyes, Yami glared at the cat.

"Killer wanted to make sure her kitten was making out okay," Bakura said with a serious look on his face before he cracked up with laughter. Next to him Malik giggled as well.

Yami ignored him as he rolled his eyes and pouted. "Get lost you two or I'll tell Seto."

"We know the CEO isn't here," Bakura replied the smirk returning to his face as he shoved passed Yami and strolled inside the mansion. "We've been staking out the place every since Yugi dumped you off here to get babysat by him."

"How nice you're so concerned for me," Yami sarcastically said letting Malik in as well. "What do you to want anyway? What did Isis say?"

"Nothing we just used that as an excuse to get in."

"You broke in anyway!"

"Minor detail. It was fun getting your hopes up that you'll be cured soon."

"Stay out of this Bakura."

"Make me Josie."

"Why do you keep calling me that?"

"It refers to Josie and the Pussycats," Malik helpfully explained. "He spent hours on the internet last night looking up dumb cat related names for you."

"Aren't I lucky?"

"Damn right Sylvester! You should be honored that I took time out of my busy schedule-"

"Of screwing Malik…"

"…of screwing Malik…to come up with names for you."

While the trio talked, Killer jumped down from Bakura's arms and began rubbing her face and neck against Yami's leg. "Meow."

A sour look crossed Yami's face. "Bakura, get your cat away from me."

"She loves you! Besides you should know you can never tell chicks what to do. That's why all of us are gay. Speaking of which, have you nailed the CEO yet? So much like the priest, isn't he?"

"Shut. Up. Bakura." Yami hissed, his cheeks turning red with embarrassment, the ears on top of his head flattened against his skull. He had suspected that Bakura knew of his past with the priest but that didn't mean the former Thief King was allowed to broadcast it to everyone.

"Oh don't be embarrassed!" Malik teased. "Everyone knows you and the priest had something going on."

"I'm glad you find amusement in my private life being so public."

"Think of it as…caring."

"I rather not."

Sulking; Yami stormed back into the living room and flopped down on the couch. He wanted Malik, Bakura and Killer to leave but he knew that wouldn't happen if he tried forcing them out. Instead it was best to ignore them and they'll leave when they got bored.

Jumping up next to Yami, Killer once again began rubbing herself against the tri-haired cat-human. She buried her head against Yami's side trying to convince him to pet her. Reluctantly Yami did so while glaring at Bakura.

"Alright, you two came over here to annoy me, you've done your job so now you can leave."

"And let you be bored here all alone? Never!" Malik cried as he flopped down next to Yami accidentally landing on his tail. With a screech, Yami shoved Malik over freeing his tail. He then cradled it protectively in his hands. Malik however wasn't fazed.

"You know I'm sure Seto would like it if you stuck it up-"

"Malik!" Yami angrily yelled. "Don't talk that way! And don't call him Seto!"

"Oh so only you can call him Seto?" Malik asked with an amused look on his face. Yami buried his face in his hands, praying to the Gods that they would leave soon.

Distracted with his prayers, Yami didn't notice that Malik and Bakura had wandered off to cause some damage.

The pair wandered throughout the mansion until they reach the kitchen. The two psychos shared a mischief grin as they walked across the black floor.

Bakura began raiding the refrigerator, while Malik rummaged through the cupboards. Both were looking for food as Ryou was away so he was unable to buy food for their apartment. The two were starving but refused to do the grocery store shopping. Besides, stealing from a reincarnated priest and pharaoh was much more fun. Although Yami and Bakura had an alliance to get their own bodies that alliances was now broken since they had achieved their goal. It was much more fun to be enemies then friends.

"Hey I even found cat food for Killer," Malik informed his white haired lover as he picked up a can of kitty food. "Boy, Seto's really taking this cat thing seriously."

"The CEO doesn't have the guts to keep up with it," Bakura scornfully replied with a disgust look on his face.

"He should thank us for turning the Pharaoh into a cat, even if it was an accident."

Bakura narrowed his eyes at the blond Egyptian, "Not thank us…pay us!"

"That too," Malik agreed with a nod of his head.

The pair continued to pack up all the food they could find in sacks which they that snuck into the mansion without Yami knowing. Soon the duo had packed up all the edible goods they could find. Stashing the bags outside the mansion the pair returned to the living room where Yami was still praying to the Gods. The great heist took a grand total of 12 minutes and the former Pharaoh was none the wiser.

"Okay Killer it's time to go," Bakura announced, walking over to the couch so he could pick up his cat.

Surprised; Yami looked up at them with a hopeful look on his face. "You're leaving already?"

"Yeah, you're no fun when you spend the entire time praying. You're not even praying to Min so we can't make fun of you."

Yami narrowed his eyes at the pair but he remained quiet. He didn't want to push his luck.

Without another word, Malik, Bakura and Killer quickly made their exit. Yami thought he could hear some slight snickering coming from the duo psychopaths but he brushed it off; they were insane after all.

Yami rested back on the couch, allowing the silence to sink in. In the pass three days he had almost driven himself crazy with the quietness around the mansion while the two brothers were at work. Now he sought comfort from the peacefulness. Although he did wish he had remembered to scratch their eyes while they were there since they were the reason he was in his curtain predicament.

A low grumble was heard from Yami's stomach telling the ex-Pharaoh that it was nearing lunchtime, always an interesting time of the day for Yami after the catnip incident. Since that day Yami had to defend for himself for lunch. Although he would never admit it to anyone, especially Seto, he had actually resorted to canned cat food the first day. The second day, after much difficulty, he had managed to figure out how to get the microwave working.

Wandering into the kitchen, Yami's mouth fell open in shock. The doors to the cupboards were all wide open, the shelves inside empty. Hurrying over to the refrigerator, Yami yanked open the door to find that it too had also been emptied of all its contents.

Those bastards! Yami angrily thought.

His stomach grumbled again, louder this time. Leaving the kitchen, Yami wandered throughout the mansion searching for anything edible. He figured there had to be some food stashed somewhere else. Mokuba was a child after all and must have at least candy hidden somewhere.

Yami searched for an hour with no luck. He had even snuck into Mokuba's room to look for candy but had found nothing.

Outside, clouds moved in and there was a crack of thunder before rain began to pour. That ruled out going outside to find some critters to snack on.

From room to room, Yami wandered getting hungrier with each step he took. Walking into the den Yami eyed the expensive aquarium sitting on top of a table. Another growl escaped his stomach as he stared at the tropical fish swimming around the tank. Seto clearly had spent a lot of money on the fish but right now they all looked so delicious to the cat-human.

Crouching down, Yami licked his lips while keeping his eyes trained on the fish, his tail twitching back and forth. Surely Seto wouldn't notice if one fish went missing. All he needed was one as a snack to get him through the rest of the afternoon until Mokuba and Seto returned.

Standing, Yami attempted to reach the top of the aquarium, only to have no luck. Even on his tiptoes he was still too short. With a frown upon his face, Yami jumped and grabbed onto the edge of the fish tank. Yami steadied himself with one hand while reaching into the aquarium with his other.

Unfortunately for Yami, his weight was too great for the large aquarium. Falling backwards, Yami took the aquarium with him. He jumped out of the way as the aquarium crashed to the floor, spilling water and fish everywhere.

Yami didn't even get a chance to panic over what he had done do to the sound of footsteps running in his direction.

"What the hell happened here!"

Shooting his head around Yami started in shock at an angry Seto and a sad Mokuba who had tears in his eyes. Around them the fish continued to flop from the lack of water. Because of the storm going on outside, the Kaiba brothers had decided to leave the office early to check on their houseguest.

"It was an accident! I can explain!"

Seto's blue eyes narrowed at the half cat. "What were you doing Yami?"

"Well…I was hungry…"

"And you decided to attack my fish?" Mokuba asked in a small voice. Yami hung his head with guilt.

"You should have gotten something from the kitchen. I'd call you a loser dog but I think that will be a complement for you." Seto growled. Lifting his head slightly, Yami winced at the sight he saw. Seto's eyes were darker blue than normal, blazing alive; a sure sign he was mad. "I doubt that not even a normal cat would have been that stupid."

"Seto…I'm sorry…"

"You should know better! You're the one who keeps on insisting that you're a Pharaoh. Were you not supposed to be smart?"

"Why did you do that? Those were the only pets that Seto allowed me to have!" The tears in Mokuba's eyes began falling. Slowly he knelt down next to a yellow and blue fish that had stopped movie. "Fluffy!"

"Mokuba…"

"Just get out of here Yami!" Seto spat as he kneeled down next to his brother to try and comfort him.

Darting from the room as fast as possible, only one thought passed through Yami's head; escape. He couldn't believe he had done something so stupid and had upset the brothers so much.

Unaware of where he was going, only wanting to get away, Yami ran into the living room. Shoving open the sliding glass doors, Yami ran out into the pouring rain. He didn't deserve to stay there; he wanted to go home.

A crack of lightning crackled across the night sky scaring the half cat; lightning was not something he had ever experienced in Egypt.

Hurriedly, Yami sought out shelter, climbing the nearest tree he could find. Huddling on a branch far above the ground, Yami drew his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them to try and stay warm.

In the distance he could see the flickering of lights from the mansion. With a small sad meow, Yami buried his face into his knees while he waited out the storm.

"Are you okay?" Seto softly asked his brother. The two of them were busy cleaning up the mess Yami had made. The glass was all picked up and the dead bodies were gathered in a box for a mass funeral tomorrow, the brothers were now cleaning up the water.

Seto didn't really care that the aquarium was broken but had only been mad because Mokuba had been so upset. There was also Yami to think about. Yami was lucky not to have been crushed under the fallen table and broken aquarium. Seto would never have forgiven himself if Yami had gotten hurt through his reckless actions.

"Yeah, I guess. I should have figured something like this would have happened once we got a cat."

"Yami's not a cat."

"Of course you would say that," Mokuba replied with a knowing grin.

"Hmph. I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Sure you don't."

"Hn."

"You should go find him and apologize. You were pretty mean to him and he couldn't help what he did."

"I'm not apologizing Mokuba!"

"Yami would appreciate it."

Seto growled. "Fine. But after I cook dinner."

A bright smile crossed Mokuba's lips. "Good." Despite appearances he knew that his brother would do anything for the former Pharaoh.

The brothers wandered into the kitchen where they found the mess that Bakura and Malik made.

"What happened here?" Mokuba wondered. "Did Yami do this?"

"No…someone else did this…or perhaps I should say some people…"

"What are you getting at Niisama?"

"I'm guessing Malik and Bakura were responsible for this," Seto replied narrowing his eyes at the mess. "They're the only ones around who know about Yami."

"I guess they got bored and decided to come over and bug Yami."

"Hmph. Order a pizza Mokuba. I'll find Yami."

While Mokuba picked up the cordless phone that was hanging on the wall, Seto headed upstairs figuring that Yami would have sought comfort in his temporary room.

Seto knocked lightly on the door before shoving it open. To his surprise the room was empty.

"Hn."

Knowing that Yami spent a lot of time in the living room, Seto headed that way. To his surprise the half-cat was not there either.

It was then he noticed that the glass door leading outside was wide open; rain damping his carpet.

"Shit," he muttered just as Mokuba joined him in the room.

"Pizza's order! …What's wrong Niisama?"

"Look," Seto replied, nodding his head in the direction of the open door. "Yami's gone."

"But why?" Again Mokuba had a teary look in his eyes.

"I think he was more upset with what happened then I realized."

"We better find him," Mokuba said looking outside at the rain. It was dark out and the rain was thick making it difficult to see anything beyond a few feet.

"Agreed."

Forgoing raincoats both Kaiba brothers rain out into backyard.

"Yami!" Mokuba frantically called. Meanwhile Seto's sharp eyes searched everywhere, not wanting to mess a thing. Around them the wind began to howl as the storm picked up.

"Yami!"

Yami lifted his head as he thought he heard someone call his name.

"Meow," he weakly replied. Being out in the elements had begun to take a toll on him. He was frozen to the bone from the damp rain and wind. He wasn't even sure he had heard his name being called as it easily could have been the wind.

"Mokuba, I heard him over here," Yami heard a voice say. Vaguely he recognized the voice belonging to the brunet CEO.

"The tree!"

Yami's weary crimson eyes looked down at the ground but he only found darkness. His body shivered as he let out another strangled meow.

Several minutes passed and Yami heard nothing. Thinking he had imagined the voices, Yami closed his eyes and shivered again only wanting things to be over. He wanted to go home.

"Are you okay?"

Snapping open his eyes, Yami watched as Seto hoisted himself up on the branch next to he former Pharaoh.

"Se-to?" His voice shook from the cold, damp air. Yami eyed Seto; his brunet hair was wet and sticking to his head. His arms were outstretched towards the half-cat so Yami uncurled his body and crawled into Seto's arms.

With Yami firmly in place, Seto lightly jumped to the ground landing with grace and skill of a cat. He then began hurrying back to the mansion with his long strides. Yami meanwhile clutched the front of Seto's shirt and buried his face into wet, silk material.

"I already sent Mokuba ahead to fill a bath full of warm water and to find some dry clothes."

Yami absentmindedly nodded his head, not really hearing what Seto had said. All he could hear was the wind and rain howling around him.

The former Pharaoh whimpered as the rain halted knowing they were once again inside. After what had happened, Yami didn't want to remain at the mansion. But there was little he could do as Seto carried him up the stairs.

"Niisama, I have Yami's bath all ready."

"Good, now go find clothes for him."

"Seto?" Yami groggily asked after feeling himself being placed down upon a toilet. His head was clouded and he couldn't think straight.

"Relax, you're in the bathroom attached to your room. You need to get warmed up after being outside in the rain…which was a stupid thing to do I might add."

"I'm sorry."

"Good, I deserve that for getting wet, climbing a tree and carrying your heavy ass back here." Seto tried keeping a light, joking atmosphere but in truth Yami had scared him. The former Pharaoh didn't have much body mass and had rapidly become cold out in the rain. Also he seemed lighter then he did the other day when Seto ended up carrying him to the couch after he had ran into the glass door.

"I meant for the fish."

"Forget about it. Mokuba seems to think you're a better pet anyway."

"I'm not a pet," Yami quietly muttered.

"I know." Seto pulled off the soaked black shirt Yami had been wearing with little protest from the ex-Pharaoh. He then went to work on removing Yami's leather pants, which was sticking to his legs.

"Seto?" Yami inquired again. Although still mostly out of it he had enough sense of his surroundings to know he was now naked. He wasn't bothered by it though; he was used to being naked around servants.

"I told you to relax. I'm going to help you into the tub and then go change while you warm up."

Seto scooped Yami back up into his arms and carried him over to the bathtub. Gently he placed Yami in the water before taking a few steps back.

"Are you going to be okay if I leave for a few minutes?"

"Yeah," Yami softly replied with a slight nod of his head.

Allowing Yami his privacy, Seto quickly left the bathroom and hurried to his own room where he quickly changed into dry clothes.

"Should I call Dr. Kisara?" Mokuba asked walking into his brother's room just as Seto finished pulling the black turtleneck over his head.

"Yes."

With a nod of his head, Mokuba picked up the phone that was located next to Seto's bed. The brunet meanwhile strolled back across the hall into Yami's room where he inspected the sweat pants and t-shirt Mokuba had set out on the bed. He then reentered the bathroom to check on Yami. Seto smiled a little when he saw that Yami was no longer shivering but his body was still huddled together as if he was cold.

Rolling up his sleeves, Seto picked Yami up and helped him stand on the cream-colored tile floor. He then wrapped a large, fluffy purple towel around Yami's shoulders and rubbed various parts of his body before picking him up again to carry him back into the other room.

"I can walk you know," Yami murmured as he snuggled against Seto's chest once again.

"I like carrying you."

Walking over to the bed, Seto set Yami down on the firm mattress. Removing the towel, Seto began dressing Yami. He slipped the t-shirt over Yami's head before brushing the damp, blond bangs from his eyes; Yami had beautiful eyes.

With his shirt in place, Yami stretched his legs out so Seto could continue dressing him. The warm bath had worked wonders and he was becoming more aware of his surroundings. He liked Seto taking care of him though. It reminded him of when he was Pharaoh.

Seto slid the garment up Yami's short legs and then positioned his tail to go through the hole in the back. The brunet CEO then pulled the pants up Yami's hips before picking him up again so he could tuck him in under the blankets.

"Thank you Seto," Yami whispered as he cuddled under the blankets and closed his eyes.

"Get some rest. I'll check on you later."

Turning off the light, Seto quietly left the room. Behind him he could hear the gentle sound of Yami already asleep.

"Niisama, Dr. Kisara said the storm was too bad to come out. She said that Yami would be okay though as long as he stays warm. She suggested that you sleep in the same bed as him tonight so that you can keep an eye on him and keep him warm if he starts to get a chill."

"Alright," Seto tiredly replied. Rescuing Yami had made him weary but he knew he couldn't rest just yet. "Did the pizza every arrive?"

"Yeah it came while you were still outside getting Yami. We'll need to heat it up so we can eat it."

Wordlessly Seto nodded his head before following his brother downstairs to the kitchen where they ate in silence. When their dinner was over, Seto left Mokuba and let the youngster entertain himself.

The elder Kaiba brother headed back up the stairs to his bedroom where he changed into his silk, navy pajamas. Walking across the hall, he quietly opened the door to Yami's room and smiled when he saw the former Pharaoh was still out of it.

Making his way across the room, Seto climbed into the bed next to pale Egyptian. Reaching over with one hand he gently rubbed Yami's head behind his ears. He then moved his arm lower and wrapped his around the cat's waist.

Pulling Yami close to him, Seto was also soon fast asleep.
